Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son. This is Mr. Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your son. This is Mr. Asia, a forgotten history.

Thanks to Animates, making happy happen for pets. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Thank you Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Happy Friday. Do you know what? I'm feeling so happy that it's Friday. I've got an idea. What about instead of Friday we say something like Fry-yay?
Starting point is 00:00:58 Because I want to say like yay it's Friday. Vaughan your take? Nah. Really unimpressed Vaughan there. Nah. My favourite thing is on a Thursday, Fletch, when you say happy Friday Eve. I hate that too.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I love it. It's silly. I bet, that's silly. You love it. Now the top six is coming up. Vaughan, what have you got for us today? Well, you may or may not have heard that Ashburton, the South Island hamlet of Ashburton.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Oh, the hamlet. I like to call it a hamlet. Wow. Which is what we called towns before town became a thing. Sort of like an upsized village. Had a slogan, make Ashburton great again. Now, based off the make America great again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:40 And the... It didn't go down well, did it? It didn't, no. So this was Ashburton, Meryl Hopeful. Jeff Ryan who put this as his slogan, Make Ashburton Great Again. So it's a political slogan that we've seen before from someone who's quite controversial.
Starting point is 00:01:58 So he announced that MAGA was going to be his slogan last week. Make America Great Again. On read. Same vibe. Ashburton, okay. Donald Trump's Make America Great Again. Not a great one. So I've got the top six.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Are the actual slogans. These are actual. These were actual company slogans that were terrible, terrible ideas. And not just tiny companies. Big companies. Nope. We're going to hear from the likes of Reebok.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Would you say ooge companies actually? Ooge. Ooge. Ooge. Okay, companies, actually? Ouj. Yeah. Okay, it's coming up in the top six. Secret Sound, thanks to Super Liquor, we'll give you the next chance at 7 o'clock and 8 during our show today. $15,000 is the activate. You've just got to guess the sound.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I got a facial yesterday. Win the cash. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry I cut you off. That's okay. No, carry on. You had a facial. Well, it's about the Secret Sound. I had a facial yesterday and she was like,
Starting point is 00:02:46 have you got any clues up your sleeve? And I was like, we don't know, we don't know. She's like, it is tormenting my day. Yeah, someone asked me at the gym. I was like, no, I don't know, we don't know. And this is why we don't want to know what the secret sound is. Yes, I was like, no, we don't know for this very reason.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Because I will literally go halfs with you and tell you. Like, I'm so corrupt. My facialist was like, she's dedicated don't know for this very reason. Because I will literally go halfs with you and tell you. Like, I'm so corrupt. But my facialist was like, she's dedicated 15 minutes a day to it. She's like, no, I've got to stop. She's put a tonne. She's like, I can't.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I'm pouring over it. I love that. Well, your next chance to get through is coming up at seven. Next on the show, if you order pizza and you've ordered a little bit too much, a great meal to reheat. Most of us go microwave. Yeah. There's a better pizza
Starting point is 00:03:25 reheating hack. It's pronounced microwave. It is. I'm so sorry. I'm so dumb. Apology accepted. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. If I order too much pizzeria, is pizzeria? Yeah, pizza. Most people say pizza. Oh, well, most people are common and I'm fancy. Me and my three
Starting point is 00:03:41 brothers, when we grew up in the sewers of New York City under our mat. Are you a turtle? Are you a turtle? I was a turtle but now I'm sort of a turtle. How did you go from turtle to man?
Starting point is 00:03:56 How'd that happen? I believe a nuclear waste. It's within the secrets of the ooze in the sewer. Raised by our rat master censor. Oh for god's sake. And father figure splinter. Stop it. You could never order too much pizza, man. They love the pizza, man.
Starting point is 00:04:09 We loved it. Cold bunk. I'm really good at ordering the right amount of pizza. I'm really good. In fact, when we have a party or drinks, we are great at ordering pizza. Both of us nail it. We nail it.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I purposely order too much. You see, for some later and then some the next day. I'm just going to put this out there. Yeah. So there were drinks the other night. You weren't there, Hayley. No, I wasn't. I actually wasn't invited.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I won't say who. Actually, no, you weren't. I won't say who. Was I invited? No. We don't bother anymore. Which is very rude. There was a large group of people.
Starting point is 00:04:38 A large group of people. And the person hosting, and I won't name and shame them. Well, yeah, but you listening, you'll know him. Yeah, you'll know.. Yeah, you'll know. He said, I'll get pizza. You're telling me Matty McClain has undercatered another event because his wedding was undercatered. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I forgot about that. Okay, he's like, I'll order pizza. And we're all like, yay. And then, you know, you hear the ding dong. Yum, yum, hungry, hungry. Yay. Whole, you know, giant room. I'm. Yum, yum, hungry, hungry. This whole, you know, giant room full of people can eat. I'm happy and I'm not even there.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I was invited, by the way. So was I. It's fine. Then he comes back from the hallway with two boxes of pizza, two pizzas. And there would have been like 15 people. I'm having one of those to myself. What did he not? You're not talking like the limo was.
Starting point is 00:05:23 No, it was just a standard pizza. And we were all just kind talking like the limo one. No, just a standard pizza. And we were all just kind of like, well, I guess we all just have a piece. Oh, that's not enough. Actually unacceptable. He's running a lot. Yeah, he's slender. But when you're running a lot, he needed to carbo load. It was a bit like, oh, okay, well.
Starting point is 00:05:40 What flavours did he get? Oh, good flavours. They were good flavours. What? Yeah, he went like fancy. Like a chicken cranberry, which, you know, I love a chicken cranberry. That's my favourite. Is that why?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Was it a budgetary restriction? Time's tough. No, I don't know. I think he just thought two would be enough. Let's say the budget is $50 for pizza. I'm going to get more of the, like, just go pepperonis. Oh, we do that. I'll always get the cheap pizza.
Starting point is 00:06:04 But a thin base. We always go thin base. So'll always get the cheap pizza. But a thin base. We always go thin base. So you can get more of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can get more of them. And I'm not going fancy. This is a family pizza night. This is a roast,
Starting point is 00:06:13 a public roasting. It's just a bit of a public roasting. Wow. He is so lucky I didn't decide to go. Yeah, actually. Imagine if we turned up.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I would have been like another classic McLean under catering. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there is a hack that's going viral if you do have leftover pizza in the fridge. Yeah, which I love. Not a problem at Maddie McLean's house, apparently.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Usually either, Aaron. Not a problem. Never going to be a problem. Actually, I'm ordering more. I'm topping up. He's hating us. He's going to be so upset with you, Vought. So, usually, Aaron will eat it cold from the fridge.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah. And I'll just stick it in the microwave for a little bit and have a soggy little rubbery. So you've got a microwave. Do you put a thing of water in? No, dog in the microwave. And then my brother once air fried leftover pizza
Starting point is 00:06:57 for me and I was like, air fried. Sorry, she went to a private school. She's thinking of a fryer as in a monk type creature. Friar Tuck. I air fried this piece of pizza and I was like, oh my God, game changer. So now I'm air fryer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:12 New hack. New hack for the pizza. Which I think is what you're about to say is what I do before it goes in the air fryer. Dunk it. In water. I spritz it in water. Oh yeah, spritz makes more sense. No, the hack.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Like it's a baby and I'm baptising it. There's this Aussie fitness coach. And you know what? Yeah, I'd be fitness pizza in my mouth. I love that she's a fitness coach and she's like, we're going to have pizza. Well, she's being realistic. Have some respect for your body.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Like, you only get one knife. Eat a broccoli. Shut up. So she said that she actually gets the slices and she dunks it in water. So not a spritzing, not a steaming. I like that. A full dunk before air frying or microwaving.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And it turns out, she says, as fresh as you bought it. Yes. This is great. Air fry it because it's hot. And it's not like the microwave makes it rubbery and an oven is going to take too long. I've heard of people who fry it in a pan. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that with a little bit of water in the pan. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 With a bit of butter, jeez. Here we are. When he lets loose, he's got health all during the week. Yeah, we deep fry it. To reheat it, we deep fry it. And why not dip it in a batter if we're deep frying it? And use some butter as well. You're carrying on like it's your birthday today, Vaughan, and it's not. It was yesterday. Was it yesterday, was it? Yeah, rain butter as well. You're carrying on like it's your birthday today, Vaughn,
Starting point is 00:08:26 and it's not. It was yesterday. Was it yesterday, was it? Yeah, rain it in. Am I being a brat? You're being a little bit of a brat, but I'm actually here for it. Sometimes what the listener doesn't hear
Starting point is 00:08:35 is sometimes I just pull the fingers at Fletch and I just do it just to be a little bit of attitude. It feels really good. Yeah, yeah. Do you want me to read this? Because I've actually read it. Have you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Well, I was just going to put it into ChatGPT and ask it for bullet points and then read it like I had read it, but I'm just kind of improvising on the spot as I go through. Well, it's ironic that you're using ChatGPT. Basically, we're in a day and age of AI that it's becoming so advanced that doctors have had to accept
Starting point is 00:09:02 AI knows more than they do. And AI is now, on a paper level, better than doctors. And I read this article going, oh my God, all my medical friends, they studied for so long. They paid so much money. Like, what are they going to do now for a job? I mean, you know, an AI can't bloody give you a prostate exam. You know, an AI. Well, yes. But, an AI can't bloody give you a prostate exam. No. You know,
Starting point is 00:09:27 an AI. Well, yes. But it could instruct me how to give you one. What do I do now, AI? Give me one. Insert finger. No, thanks. Do you not have one? I mean, it's just going to compliment. Do I have a prostate? It's just going to compliment their work, isn't it? Really. Do women have a prostate?
Starting point is 00:09:44 That's a dumb question. Of course not. He hopes. No, women do not have a prostate. I know, but I just suddenly started questioning that. That'll be why you're losers. That'll be why you all get paid less. You guys should get prostates.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Have you thought about getting prostates? I have been thinking about it. The best part about them is they're a time bomb. At any given moment, they can turn into a horrendously cancerous item. Yeah, maybe not. Maybe avoid it. So there's a guy, his name's Ian McRae.
Starting point is 00:10:15 He has stage four brain cancer. That's a terrible diagnosis to get. And so he's become very invested in the idea of healthcare. He's the founder of Orion Health. He is indeed. According to my bullet point here from GHCPT. He is. So he's got this terrible thing, but he works in the health sector
Starting point is 00:10:31 and he's like, I need to figure out how to cure this. He can't. He can't. Well, you know, you can't. But he's already going like AI is so much better than any human can do. All the machines, you don't actually need the people anymore. Yeah, but you do need the people.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Exactly, you do need the people. Although a lot of it's becoming self-testing. You know, like pap smears, you can do those on your own now. STI checks, you can do those on your own now. Rest examinations, I can talk you through it. Who's safe now going forward with jobs? I have heard about people that
Starting point is 00:11:06 Or programs that have been written Using AI to identify What kind of cancer for example it is Which can take a while but from scans And it can go From analysing all the other scans It's got all in common with this one There's a 95% chance it's this
Starting point is 00:11:20 Like that Boom That was someone's job And a very very chances this. Right. Like that. Boom. So, but, yeah, so that was someone's job. Yeah. And a very, very highly skilled technical job. Yeah. My thing, I was like, okay, the people that are safe are creatives.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Because, you know, we've, it's like, you know, like ideas and performance, and you're like, no. They were, but. They were, but you can use the voice. Do you know what's amazing? Back to this guy. So he is a real tech nerd. And he was like, okay, I've got stage four brain cancer.
Starting point is 00:11:50 He put all this information into AI. And AI was like, if you keep going how you are, you have 14 months and you'll be dead. And that was three and a half years ago. And so he's used AI along the way to help him basically like extend his life. Wow. It's kind of crazy. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I immediately thought of Dr. Shawnee, who I did message yesterday, because I think it's fungus. You've got another rash. I've got a rash under a ring that I wear, and I've worn this ring for a long time. See, this is why AI won't replace doctors, because doctors' friends won't be able
Starting point is 00:12:25 to hassle AI. All I did with Dr. Shawnee is I sent a photo of the fungus and I said, do we feel like this is fungal? And then we had a little back and forth and then he gave me a diagnosis of fungal but he said chuck some hydrocortisone
Starting point is 00:12:41 on there. Shocking Dr. Shawnee would say that. I could have just uploaded that photo to AI and said I had the same thing and actually not disturbed Shawnee's day. Yeah, but you wouldn't have got a lovely personalised response, would you? I could have said when they said to me it's fungal, put hydrocortisone on it, I could have said warm it up a bit, make it nicer, and AI would have. Right. Yeah, and I could have also said, you know, tell me I'm pretty.
Starting point is 00:13:02 But how far away are we seriously from that? Because you can take a photo of a plant and it'll analyze it and it'll tell you what plant it is. And then if you've got a sick house plant now, there's an app, and you take a photo, it identifies the plant, it identifies what's wrong with the plant, and it tells you how to fix it. I don't know, honestly, years, like not that many years away.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So if you're balls deep right now in a medical degree or you're still paying off your six-year study at medical school. Drop out and get into radio. Now there's a career that's not going away. Play. ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. We cross to Shannon who's going to take us on a journey to the lake
Starting point is 00:13:45 in a lovely gay way. An ally for sure, right Shannon? Wow. That's my swan noise. That wasn't too bad. That wasn't too bad. That's not what a swan... Vaughan, can you YouTube?
Starting point is 00:13:58 Can you look up a swan? No. We need to compare it. It was definitely a bird noise. It sounded like a sick seagull, to be honest. Do you know what? It sounded like a seagull who's had its wing clipped by a car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And it's on the side and it's deciding whether or not to die. While it still eats a hedgehog. But it's still eating something absolutely feral, yeah. Yeah. She was remarkably close. She was pretty good. Don't interrupt the actual swans. Yeah, hang on.
Starting point is 00:14:28 So we go actual swans. And Shannon? Hey. You guys have knocked her confidence. She said hey. She went hey. I don't know. That's all swans are saying.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Hey in a high pitched South African accent. Now you've got some gay swan news for us this morning. Yeah, so do you remember how I told you about the gay sheep? 30% of them are gay. Remember, I follow them on Instagram. That's right. That was the thing. 30% of all sheep are gay.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, are either bi or gay. Yeah. And rams, we're talking male sheep. Yeah. Gay. No lesbian sheep. I don't research lesbians. I'm just strictly on gay animals.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Wow. We're in the radio station for lesbians. What have you got against lesbians? It's just my area of research. Apologies to our lesbian listeners. To be fair, I've been doing a lot of lesbian research. So I feel like we're balanced. Is that what you call it?
Starting point is 00:15:18 All bases covered. You know, I've been doing my own research. Yeah, me too. We hear that thrown around a lot these days. But I've put hours into it. Please go on. My doctorate in lesbianism will be prepared by the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Back to Shanna. I have been working on my thesis of gay animals and I've come across another animal who is very gay. Pretty gay. Black swans, 25% of them, gay. Just black swans? Just black. Black swans are more gay than white swans?
Starting point is 00:15:45 Yes. Okay. This is a cultural black. Black swans are more gay than white swans. Yes. Okay. How are you backing this up? Google. Right. No, hang on. Where was the information? Hang on, hang on.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Where was Shannon here? Initially TikTok. Okay. But I Googled for once. The gay sheep, I will say, all TikTok. Right. But today, so 25% of black swans are gay. For reference, humans, only 3%.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Oh. It always blows my mind when happy pride month for swans. Maybe they should be on the flag too. Let's get them a spot on the flag, a little beak or something in the corner. Do you know black swans have a 6% divorce rate? That's pretty good. That's really good. Because humans, we're rocking 51 to 52 these days.
Starting point is 00:16:25 This is where I'm taking you with my gay fact. So lots of them are gay, but here's where I just was absolutely blown away. 80% of gay couples raise their swans successfully. 30% of straight couples do it successfully. So straight to the problem.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Straight to the problem. And so how these gay swans happen. I was going to ask where they get their babies from because biology tells me that, yes. How does it work? It is so interesting. So they basically, two gay swans come together and they're like, we want a baby. Let's call them Daryl and Brett.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Daryl and Brett. Daryl and Ben. Daryl and Ben. Daryl and Ben. It was Daryl and Brett but they broke up Brett's gone They decide that they love each other very much and then they look down at their little
Starting point is 00:17:12 things and they're like this doesn't work Wait I've got the same thing you've got How are we going to do this? You're not explaining this to five year old Shannon Well Daryl and Ben go over and they're like well Shazza's looking pretty good Shazza? Okay That's a female black swan over and they're like, well, Shazza's looking pretty good. Shazza. Yeah. That's a female black swan. Yeah, so
Starting point is 00:17:27 Dazza goes over to Shazza and seduces her. Oh my god, Shazza. Knocks her up. Yeah, she's pretty easy, Shazza. So pretending to be straight. Pretending to be straight. Knocks Sharon up. Sharon's up. Little swanny comes out. And then...
Starting point is 00:17:43 That's a goose. Also, it does... That's a goose. That's a goose. Also, it does... She lays an egg. Birds come out in egg form and then hatch. They don't come out as birds. Good point. So... The egg comes out.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Egg comes out. Yep. Dazza steals baby Swan, raises it with Ben. Shazza's now childless and she's been left. And she has to do that thing where everyone's like, how's Dazza? And she's like, oh my god, he was gay. He was gay for so long. But it wasn't me. I didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:18:14 No, I knew something was off and we never really connected in the way that I wanted to. He's gay. But according to the research, there are a lot better parents than the straight Swans. 80% success rate. So women are the problem. I love your algorithm is just gay animals.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah, well, it's my thesis. I'm studying. I'm getting a PhD. It's crochet. The gays of the animal kingdom. Yeah, well, I decided, you know, broadcasting degree, sure. Post grad, animal gayness. Gay animals.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Right, animal sexuality. So you'll have a degree in broadcasting with a side of gay animals. But doctorates are always called something like wordy, so it'll be like... Dr. Gay. It'll be like Gay Swans. The thesis. An inside study into how the da-da-da, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:00 you get wordy with her. Also be careful Googling black gay swan. Some adult stuff comes up first. Because of the Mila Kunis Natalie Portman. Be careful. Which has been part of my studies. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. From the Notes app on Vaughan's laptop, this is the Top 6. Make Ashburton great again. That's my idea. Said mayoral hopeful. Am I saying mayoral hopeful?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Mayoral. Who says mayor? Is it mayor? Mayor. Mayor. Are there going to be elections everywhere and billboards again? Yeah, they need to ban those outdoor billboards. Yeah, yucky.
Starting point is 00:19:45 So this dude, Jeff's like, yeah, make Ashburton great again. That's going to stick. And then later on was like... Yeah, a bit of a backlash there. Yeah, a bit of a backlash. So he's not a Trump supporter. He says, I look at him and think there's a lot of good he does. So he is a Trump supporter.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But he undoes that good with a lot of crazy comments. And I think he's reckless as a politician. I think the American political situation is so not funny. Do you know what I mean? In terms of, like, we laughed at Trump the first time, but now we're all just a bit like, oh, that sucks. Yeah, it's not something to aspire to, right? Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Well, not the first time that somebody's got a slogan wrong. I found six other examples of terrible slogans used by companies. Number six on the list was Reebok's 2012 campaign that said, Cheat on your girlfriend, not your workout. Now these are actual, infinite slogans. These are actual company slogans.
Starting point is 00:20:38 And how did that go down at the time? Well, they thought it was going to be great. They started in Germany, but before it even got out of Germany, it received global backlash, to which Reebok later said, they don't condone cheating in any way, be it on your workout or your girlfriend. Okay. Number five on the list.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But if you are going to cheat. Do it to the missus, not the gym. I was going to have a cheat day, just on everything. Oh, yeah, that's fair. Food, no workout. Wife, food, gym. Everything. But as long as it's only one day a week.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Yeah, it doesn't count. It's actually quite a fun relationship set up. Yeah. Cheat day. Number five on the list of the top six terrible slogans that were actually used by companies. Weight Watchers said, dieting doesn't work, Weight Watchers does.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You are a diet. That is what dieting is. Yeah. Did it go down well? Did not go down well. And then they kind of had a moment of self-realization that they are just sort of a diet program. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And so they pulled it. Next, number four on the list of the terrible slogans, a pretzels company released this. In 2010, Pretzels, a company that makes pretzels that is also called Pretzels released a skinnier pretzel like a half pretzel depth wise. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:53 So technically each pretzel half the amount of calories. Okay. You can never be too thin taste as good as skinny feels. Oh! Pretzels. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Very famous Kate Moss quote. Yeah. They pulled the plug. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Yeah. One of the most toxic sentences.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And then I'm like, handbag, chuck, bacon, chocolate, burger, pasta, straight butter,
Starting point is 00:22:17 cookies, yum, booze. Number two on the list of the top six terrible slogans actually used by a company. We go to Bic, the pen manufacturer. Booze. Number two on the list of the top six terrible slogans actually used by a company. We go to Bic, the pen manufacturer. Great pens.
Starting point is 00:22:29 It was International Women's Day. I could go wrong. Oh, my God. I remember this. I remember. A poster of a woman with a Bic pen. It said, look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss. Now, that went through, I'm guessing, more than one person. I'd say so. Think like a man. I'd say so. Think like a man, work like a boss. Now that went through, I'm guessing, more than one person.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I'd say so. Think like a man. I'd say so. Think like a man. Look like a girl. Oh, it's this. Act like a lady. Wait, what year was this?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Like recently. Oh, God. Because I remember the big scandal with the pink pens for girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ladies range. I'm all good with a blue pen, dude. And number one on the list, it is a hashtag,
Starting point is 00:23:08 but it's a slogan and generally regarded as a terrible misfire for marketing. I could be talking about none other than the launch of Susan Boyle's album. Oh my God. Now, if you're not familiar
Starting point is 00:23:21 with Susan Boyle, it was a hell of a time. She went on Britain's Got Talent and she shuffled out looking like a crazy old cat lady and then belted out Les Mis like you've never heard before. And people were crying. It was amazing. So she immediately got a regular. Now, the hashtag, the unfortunate choice of hashtag made by her PR team was hashtag
Starting point is 00:23:44 Susan Album Party to promote the new album. Yeah. However, it also looked like it said Sue's anal bum party. Look. I think they knew. I think they knew. I think they knew. If they knew, genius move.
Starting point is 00:23:59 If they didn't, how did you miss that? I mean, marketing. We're still talking about it. It's still doing it. 20 years later. 12? 15. Do you reckon that was? What mean, marketing. We're still talking about it. It's still doing it. 20 years later. 12? 15. Do you reckon that was...
Starting point is 00:24:07 What year was it? Oh, I don't know. No, no. I remember it. What year? Oh, my God. It's so good. 16 years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, 16 years ago. Okay, wow. Sue's anal bum party. So good. Sue's anal bum party. That's what they said. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Another plane crash earlier this week.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah, this is a plane crash. It was a Delta flight crash on the 17th. It's the one that they came in. The footage is unreal. They just seem to be going all good. Hard landing. Wheel snap. Then it skids because it's a snowy runway.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah. And a wing breaks off, which rolls. The other wing breaks off and then it just and they end upside down. When it was coming down, did it know that it was going to crash? No. Or was it just landed? They haven't
Starting point is 00:24:56 decided the cause of the crash but I think it just landed so hard that the wheels just gave way. And then it just flipped it. Yeah. Oh god. Now someone that was on the flight is a Reddit user and they hosted an Ask Me Anything about the flight.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Amazing. The footage of people coming out with their full overnight bags. Now, we're told to leave everything behind. Also wild, though, that you would have had to get your overnight bag from the locker, which would have been at your feet,
Starting point is 00:25:19 which would have been... Yeah. You would have had to open the locker and then it would have been like... Yeah. How would that have worked upside down if you're standing on the roof? It opened to the ground.
Starting point is 00:25:28 It opened to the ground. But it... No, no, no, it doesn't. Or would it... No, it opens up. It opens up, so you'd have to... So it actually would have made it harder to walk on the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:25:37 No, it would have opened like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grabbed it out because it was upside down. I was like, that's the number one thing we're told. Leave your things behind. Also, if I've got a tiny bag, I'm getting it.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Oh, my God. I'm trying to, I'm condemning them to, but I'll grab mine too. It's got my laptop in it. Also, the person that filmed them getting out of the plane was kind of. And I love it. They're like, put your phone down. He's like, nah. This is going viral.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah. So someone, a flight attendant asked, could you describe what happened which led to the incident from your perspective? From my perspective, there was no lead up at all. It felt what seemed like a violent jerking motion from wind just before we touched down. So they didn't know. And we touched down hard, then bounced back up and started to skid.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I'm not sure how or where we rolled or when, but I was over the wings and I could see the orange glow from the fire through the right side windows. We skidded for what felt like a short time, but there was a lot of screaming. Though I remember thinking it sounded like we were underwater. Everything was dulled. When we stopped, there was a brief moment of silence
Starting point is 00:26:34 before everyone started trying to release themselves because they were upside down. Those of us who could get ourselves out did and then helped others undo theirs. We didn't see the flight crew where I was based on the plane, but they were doing their jobs near the exits. I could see that they were panicking as we were and they did everything just to get us out as quick as possible
Starting point is 00:26:51 because everybody was running and then we ran from the plane because we were waiting for a fireball. Good morning to our listeners that are just heading off to the airport listening to us now. Oh my gosh, I know. Aaron's got a fear of flying and he was like I haven't read the news for a while. I was like, don't. I know. You know, because Aaron's got a fear of flying. And he was like, oh God, I haven't read the news for a while. I was like, don't.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Don't. Don't. Don't. Yeah. Don't read it. What were some of the other Reddit questions? Upside down. I know.
Starting point is 00:27:13 A wild A. Somebody else asked, I was in the military for quite a while. And I was wondering if it was disorientating, the crash. Because that's a big part of our training is that if it ever goes down, it's going to be disorientating, the crash, because that's a big part of our training is that if it ever goes down, it's going to be disorientating. My seatmate said, because I got out first, they got out first and looked around. We were all hanging like bats. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Thank God you had your belt on. Yeah. Because if you were rolling, you didn't have your belt on. You'd get chucked around and you could die. They said the flight attendants manned the exits, but like passengers were the main people that helped other passengers get out of their seat. This is why when you see a 90-year-old frail person in the exit window seat with all that leg room. What are you going to do, Nan?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Do you know what I'd be like? I'd be like, I'm going to carry this person out of here. And the guy's filming. I'm like, turn around and get a shot of this. Carrying a 90-year-old woman. Yeah, and then roll your sleeves up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pop the sleeves.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Maybe take the shirt off altogether. Don't want to catch fire. Skin-to-old woman. Yeah, then roll your sleeves over your biceps and that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Swap the sleeves. Maybe take the shirt off altogether. Don't want to catch fire. Yeah, your skin-to-skin contact's very important. Mum has just messaged saying, thanks, I'm off to Christchurch today. No, Bev, you'll be fine, darling. You'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I wouldn't want to be going to Wellington, Bev, but Christchurch, fine. How did you all get out? And the worst thing was, when we got out onto the runway, we all just had to stand there. And a lot of us didn't have shoes on because when you fly, you kick your shoes off and you don't put them on until you've landed.
Starting point is 00:28:31 No, I always make sure I've got my shoes on for takeoff and landing. And then some people had fuel on their shoes. And the smell was real bad. So we were like, if this goes up, our shoes are going to be, like the whole thing was just the fuel. Someone said, what was your first thought when you managed to gather your thoughts? It was, well, I'm going to die. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I was sitting in the aisle seat above the wings, which snapped off during the crash. You could see the fire. I was like, you... Yeah. Remember the one that hit the end of the runway and it just, just fireball. Yeah. So they're like, we're rolling. Of course, we're going to explode.
Starting point is 00:28:59 But it didn't... Well, I mean, I guess the lucky thing is the fuels in the wings and they snapped off. Yeah. Yeah, and they snapped off. Yeah. Yeah, but they snapped off. I would have thought they would have exposed the fuel to the sparks of metal on runway. Yeah, but they would have been left behind, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Oh, my God, wild. Anyway, it's an incredible read. So there were 80 people on the plane. All 21 really injured people who were in hospital have been released as of a few hours ago, and Delta have come out, and they've offered each passenger $30,000 no strings attached. Or wait for legal action and get more.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, that's the thing, right? No strings attached feels like, well, let's find out why this happened. Your dad made a good point though, didn't he, about this? He said, if you're going to be in a plane crash, hell of a plane crash to be in. Looked real cool and you got to walk away from it. Totally. And you got the story of, you remember that plane crash to be in. Looked real cool and you got to walk away from it. Totally.
Starting point is 00:29:45 And you got the story of, you remember that plane that roly-poly'd down the airport runway? I was on that. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Fletchbourne and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po.
Starting point is 00:30:02 It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little po. Silly little po. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. If you're having a bath, what do you do while it fills up? That's today's silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:30:20 It's weird. It's weird. Well, Shannon saw this on TikTok, I believe. And there was a girl who was, like, dating a guy. Is this right, it's weird. It's weird. Well, Shannon saw this on TikTok, I believe. And there was a girl who was like dating a guy. Is this right, Shannon? Yeah. She started seeing a guy and then opened the bathroom door and there he was just naked in an empty tub as the tap was just...
Starting point is 00:30:35 There is not, as a man who really bathes, one of the reasons I don't sit in a bath, wildly unattractive. Yeah. Nobody ever looks sexy in a bath. No. Girls do. Girls do.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Because we put up like one knee and we sort of lounge. One knee goes up and it's sexy and there's bubbles and the boobies kind of float up a little bit and you're like... The lift you get in the water. But guys...
Starting point is 00:30:57 You're kind of junks floating around. Yeah, you're ballsing. You're ballsing trying to float past your penis and the penis is just like, I'm not as buoyant as you. Get in line. And it's kind of like, and then it hangs over the buoyant scrotum.
Starting point is 00:31:10 You wait until the bath water is in and then you get in. Well, yeah, the TikTok created an international deemed ick now. All the girls are saying this is such an ick. The comments agreed, but then there was a few people being like, wait, I do this.
Starting point is 00:31:24 So I thought it would be a good solo. If I was a woman, I just wouldn't want to see my man having a bath. Unless it was Henry Cavill and there was bubbles. I have one, I will never show you. I have one really funny photo of Aaron in a bath. Now this is a 6 foot 6 long man with very long legs. Yeah. He's so stupid. Yeah. Like he's too
Starting point is 00:31:39 big for every single bath. I know. Legs are Kimba. It's one of the funniest photos. We had to get a smaller than standard bath to fit. Yeah. So then you're like... And now I feel like Aaron in a normal tub. Yeah. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:31:52 So this was our question today for silly little Paul. If you were having a bath, what do you do while it fills up? Do you get in while it's empty and sit in it as it fills up like some sort of weird freak? Or do you wait outside and get in when it's full and bubbled up?
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yep. You've got to do that thing where you're like bit more cold. And then the junk goes in and you're like and then you start sweating. And you're sweating. I'm sweating in a bath. Immediately sweating so after the bath you have to have a shower. Well 88% of people
Starting point is 00:32:18 said they wait outside and get in when it's full and 12% will get in when it's empty and sit while it spills. Which is what my kids do. No, August will start running a bar. She'll just sit in it when it's got an inch in the bottom and I'm like, just wait till it's full and she's like, I like the whole experience.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I'm here for the whole experience. Some feedback on it. Sarah says sometimes too impatient and get in when it's halfway full and then just sit there while it's filling. But I don't like the hotness on my toes. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:46 We've got a side mounted tap. Do you think... It must be nice. And when you turn it on, it just runs straight under your bum. Yeah, it must be nice. Do you think people do this because they do not anticipate how much they will fill up the bath and there's maybe overflow? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:00 So then they can stop it at the perfect height? Because your body weight, you take up a lot of volume. The displacement. Yeah, the displacement. Yeah, I take up a lot of volume. I'm really trying here. And it's showing. I've cut back on like retreats. I'm just saying there's still plenty of volume. I'm still saying I'm going to get in the bath and it's going to overflow
Starting point is 00:33:17 on the sides and then I'm going to cry into the bath causing more water displacement. I'm going to say that actually instead of I've gained weight, I've actually increased in volume. I think it's just softer. My water displacement numbers are up going to say that actually, instead of I've gained weight, I've actually increased in volume. I think it's just softer. My water displacement numbers are up. Yes! That sounds great.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Yeah, that sounds great. That sounds great. Oh my God, imagine sitting in an empty tub and waiting for the water to fill. Please no. Illegal, absolutely not from Caitlin. Okay, that's a no. Don't stand there getting cold.
Starting point is 00:33:40 You go from your warm clothes into a warm bath. Yeah, when it's full and ready. Yeah. You're still going to be cold when you clothes into a warm bath. Yeah, when it's full and ready. Yeah. You're still going to be cold when you're sitting in a bath. But it is funny when you're standing by the bath waiting and you're already naked and waiting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You timed that all wrong. You're all wrong. Nicola said, I let it fill halfway, then get in because it means I won't overfill the bath and I get to adjust it to the perfect temperature while I still have room. Oh, yeah, that sounds like they've got a mixer. A perfect mixer.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yeah. And you move the thing around, you're like, there, get it right. Polly says, I'd burn alive if I got on while it fills. It takes at least two cold water shock fills and an additional fill before the water is only mildly scalding to be sat in. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I saw a picture this week of a guy who did step into a bath without,
Starting point is 00:34:28 his feet were like proper burnt. What? Oh dear. Who's not testing the water? Proper burnt. Just jumped in. Yeah. Like no good.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I wait until it's about a quarter full, says Geordie, and then I get in. I need to know whether or not it's going to overflow. And then she does two crying faces. So I think her water displacement numbers might be up. Might be up. So that's all right, babe. So am I.
Starting point is 00:34:48 It's okay. That's a good number. Ours go up and down all the time. Wait, but controversially, I quite like to empty it while I'm in it. Same. Oh yeah, okay, yes. When you were a kid, eh?
Starting point is 00:34:57 When you were a kid and then it gurgles? Yeah! And you put your foot over the plug hole. Yeah. And it goes. And then with a little bit of water, I used to go, woo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Steph, we're on board with this.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I haven't done that as an adult, but that could totally be a thing. Yeah, that's fun. I get in while it's filling up, said Ashley. Can have a hotter bath that way. Body gets used to the hot temp quicker, and I end up slightly cooking myself. You're not getting shocked. No. I'm not a lobster.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I don't need to sit in a pool of hot water as it fills up and burns me alive, says Nubes. I'll wait to do that all in one go. You've got to freeze your lobsters actually.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I froze mine this morning. you'd know about your lobster. This is such a funny story. Such a stupid rhetoric that I have lobster every morning for breakfast. Every morning for breakfast. But no,
Starting point is 00:35:41 you freeze them. Boiling them is actually inhumane. Yeah. Is that how you like to end the life of your lobster? So when I go pick up my daily lobster. From the daily lobster. From the daily lobster. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Yeah, you put it in the freezer to kill it. Yeah. Wow. Much more ethical that way. So the lobster's just like, oh, this is chilly. And then goes to sleep. Gone tired of going to sleep. As opposed to bubbling to death.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Instead of screaming. It's dark because the door's shut. He's very cold and there's a couple of peas and he's pinching them being like, it's a pea. That's a pea. That's a bean. That's a carrot.
Starting point is 00:36:13 That's a carrot. That's a corn. Oh, we've got a packet of mixed veg here. And then he just shrifts off to sleep with a little bit of corn in his claw. Yeah. He has no idea. What a way to go.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Right next to the fish fingers. Yeah, right. I was having a conversation With my mother yesterday About how we'll End each other's lives If we ever get a Debilitating disease
Starting point is 00:36:31 And we get turned down For euthanasia Maybe this is what I'll do with her I'll chuck her in the freezer And put some corn in her hand Yeah Be like No no
Starting point is 00:36:36 No no She crawled in there herself Yeah Will be my defence Yeah yeah yeah She'd lost her mind at that point Look she ended it All the mints and saucies
Starting point is 00:36:45 and she's jumped in herself. By a couple of old bananas, I swore I'd turn into a banana cake. And she's holding a handful of peas and a handful of corn. Just drifted off. Anyway, that got dark. That got really dark, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah. Yeah. A bit funny. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Project Pan is a huge trend on TikTok at the moment in the makeup community. Which is like, it's like, really? No, not Peter Pan. It's not like green sort of glitter.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Cooking fry pans? Not frying pans. Okay. No, it's a saying you guys probably haven't heard, but when you hit pan, when you've got a favourite product and you're like, oh no, I've hit pan. I've still got no idea what you're talking about. Well when you think, can we bring the girlies
Starting point is 00:37:28 in? I just need a little bit of allyship here. So when you hit pan it's you know how most makeup products are in like a slim tray. Oh so this is a makeup specific. Makeup specific and you've got your little tray say it's a blush or an eyeshadow or something. I'm loving your nails. Thank you darling.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Yeah they are gorgeous. Thank you, thank you. Very silver. Can we get a picture on the socials, please? Yeah, why not? Also, they were done by my friend Sophie who listens to the show and she's always like, I love the phoners. I love it when people phone in.
Starting point is 00:37:58 So she's going to be excited. Well, she's the one coming up and it's one that I've wanted to do. We've wanted to do this for a week now and it's finally made the cut. Sophie, you just brace yourself. She loves the phoners. Sophie, prep yourself. Does that mean she just doesn't like us? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:38:10 She loves the whole show. Oh, my God. Stop being so Gen Z. That is so insecure. That was so insecure. You found a negative in it. That was so insecure. I'm just insecure.
Starting point is 00:38:19 She just loves it when people, she's like, the stories. I love it. Anyway, what was I saying? When you hit pan on your favourite thing, it's like you've used up the product so much you're back down to the aluminium tray. The pan. I've hit pan.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Okay. And usually, because we live in this world of over-consumption, greediness, we're just buying, buying, buying, the Project Pan trend is being like you are not allowed to replace your make-up products until that pan is basically empty
Starting point is 00:38:47 or like anything I've seen girlies doing candles because you know we're all a sucker for a candle we'll buy one because we think
Starting point is 00:38:54 it's yum and then you want to use scent and you're like yeah we haven't used up the first one or like you've got to be careful
Starting point is 00:39:00 you've got to leave a centimetre otherwise it'll explode you just told me that this morning in our talk notes. Then I like to melt all my centimetres and pour them into one.
Starting point is 00:39:09 I've got another candle in my hands. I use an old shoelace up the middle as it works. That doesn't work. No you don't. No you don't do that. I literally have a room of candle making supplies at my house because I need to. Your girls make them.
Starting point is 00:39:23 But I think this is a good thing. I do this all the time. I don't do this trend. I mean more I'll use a product and then I'll be like, nah, I'm over there. I'll get a new one. And then I've just got and makeup expires. That's the other thing. So you should be using what you have. It's made out of cheese.
Starting point is 00:39:39 No, it expires. It's got like 12 to 6 months. Yeah, so like anything that goes on your eyes about 6 months or cream products are less than 12. What's in it that explains? It's bacteria. You're putting it on your face every day then back into it. Oh, you grubby bitch. It's grubby, right?
Starting point is 00:39:54 Why don't you wash? I am very grubby. Wait, you're not just grubby. Not you specifically. God, no, please. I didn't just call it Gen Z grubby. I do apologise. It's the bacteria you're putting from your body into the makeup.
Starting point is 00:40:06 So it's nothing in the makeup itself. Okay, right. If you look at any makeup product, on the back there's a little symbol and it kind of looks like a tub of cream. Yeah. And it has either a 12 or a 6 on it. It's not a number 18. Mascara.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Imagine mascara. You're using mascara. You're putting your eye goobies in there. That sounds like BS. It sounds like BS. What about mascara? You're going eye gooby, eye gooby into the thing. Eye gooby, eye gooby into the thing.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Why don't you wash it? That could actually be quite a... Wash your mascara. That could actually be... Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. Should we take this off here? Yeah, can we take this off here? Why don't you wash it?
Starting point is 00:40:35 Can I see you guys in the girl math chat? Because I'm honestly sick of this too. Yeah, we'll go back there. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, because you wash a paintbrush. Yeah, but you don't wash mascara. Yeah, but then you'd be putting water back into a makeup product. Well, try it before you put it on.
Starting point is 00:40:48 What have you got? Two brushes. Oh, God. We wake up at 4 a.m. Yeah, yeah. I'm washing my mascara. I'm just trying to cut back on life. I'm going on, on, on.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Wash, wash, wash. Dry, dry, dry. Dunk, dunk, dunk. On, on, on. You've got no clue. I've started project panning, but then I get sick of a product, and so I just use heaps. Like, I don't like my condition, so I did, like, four applications.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And, yeah, really heavy on the makeup lately. The whole full glam for radio, it's too much. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. It is a form of heartthrob. With some big news this week. And a great pop banger. I'm excited. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Now, it was during Shellfish Week for a fact of the day that we started talking about otters and we all universally agreed. Very, very cute. I sent you a video in the group chat yesterday of the otters chasing the butterfly. Oh my God. How cute.
Starting point is 00:41:34 It was like five or six otters chasing a butterfly. It's still my desktop background. It's still your desktop background. Replace Jason Moore with sea otters. Sea otters. Having a cuddle. So it was during that that we kind of started talking about, you know, sea otters are real cute.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Beavers I like. Beavers are big fat ones. And the flat tail, you were a bit funny about, Hayley. A bit funny about, yeah. And then I said I would love to see in real life a platypus. I've seen one at Australia Zoo when I was a kid, but I remember it being real small and a little underwhelming. And they said, oh, yeah, this is a small one.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I want to see a big full-sized platypus. And that was when Hayley was like, no way, they give me the ick. I was like, what is it about? Is it the bill? Is it a furry creature having a hard bill? They're not right. They're just not right.
Starting point is 00:42:17 It's different to the MOTH thing. That's a phobia. This is like, it's so yuck. By the way. Don't, I can't. I'm not in the right head space. Block your ears for a minute. I started up my lawnmower the other day for the first time in a while
Starting point is 00:42:29 and this moth flew out and it was the size of my hand. Oh, you're okay now, Hayley. You can take, done. You would have hated that. Yeah, good. Thank you for the respect that you've shown me here. Hey. But the platypus, it's so yuck.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It's not yuck. It's super cute. It's super cute. That is so wrong. Like, that is the most off animal. It's got a bill. It's a bit of a furry duck. It's got, like, clawed hands that have got, like, venomous tips on them. I'm getting the shoe store.
Starting point is 00:43:01 I know. You have to go platypus animal. But are they having a sale? Because I could do with some snakes. You know they've always got a bid on sale. We could pop out after the show. I was thinking going in and trying on some shoes there and then finding them cheaper online. Do you know what it's like?
Starting point is 00:43:14 It's like the animal has just gone full steam through the water and got stuck in some kind of crock. Yeah. Some kind of small footwear. I love them If there was a god If there was a god
Starting point is 00:43:27 On this day He was having a laugh Do you know what I mean Or he had like Leftover bits Like you know The Mr Potato Head And he's like
Starting point is 00:43:34 Well I guess I just have to put the A platypus is the scraps Of the animal kingdom I hate it It's so yuck In the eyes You guys ever heard What a noise a platypus makes
Starting point is 00:43:42 I don't know Also this YouTube video Is titled King of the Weirdos. Yeah. King of the Weirdos. Oh! That sounded a bit sick. It was supposed to sound a bit better.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Okay. Okay, wow. Wow. Wow. Yeah, see, that's icky as well. That's so off. That's the noise it makes. That's icky as well.
Starting point is 00:44:03 It looked like someone put it in a Nutribullet. It's disgusting. Oh, stop. That gorge. I want to know what animal gives you the ick. If it's like because I know, I've got goats and some people are, yeah, I don't want to talk about your typical animals. Rats are yuck. This text in. All animals
Starting point is 00:44:20 are precious children of the universe and deserve respect, but pugs and bulldogs should not exist. They shouldn't and that's on us. That's on us. We did that. Humans did that. We ruined that wolf.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Not pugs, but... We've ruined so many wolves. Yeah. When you're walking around this weekend and you see a dog that's, like, struggling to open its eyes or its face is smushed like it's run into the back of a car, we did that to a wolf. Someone said a platypus is a duck trying to escape from a beaver. That's perfect. That's perfect that's perfect
Starting point is 00:44:46 that's a great summation of facts we want you to call 0800 DALES AT M 9696 maybe this is a big phobia for you or just an ick
Starting point is 00:44:55 because I know some people my goats yeah the goats and I'm like what is it about where do the horns come from
Starting point is 00:45:01 why are their eyes like that why are they looking at me or maybe you've got an ick with anything with a horn yeah it's just the do the horns come from? Why are their eyes like that? Why are they looking at me? Or maybe you've got an ick with anything with a horn. Yeah. It's just the horns.
Starting point is 00:45:08 The horns are weird. How they come from the head. They come out of the skull. Is there a horn growing gland in there? And what does that look like? That's a bit yuck. Does it hurt when it comes out? Oh, Vaughan's been wanting to talk about this for a long time.
Starting point is 00:45:20 0800-TARZANEM is the number. Text in 9696. What animal gives you the ick? There's so much swearing in the text machine. People are really racked up about these animals that give you the ick. The platypus is off. It's off. It's honestly a mistake.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Perry the platypus. No. It's so good. You give it a name, it doesn't make it better. Ah, okay. What animal gives you the ick? Centipedes. Somebody's mentioned it.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Oh, yes. Like when you see them walking and all the different segments have multiple legs and it's all such a smooth, it looks like a Mexican wave, we don't call it that anymore, down the side of the animal and it's somehow moving forward. Yeah, disgusting. That's a mistake. It's not right.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Sarah, what gives you the ick? What animal? Oh, it's the frog. Nobody likes a frog, do they? Actually, no one likes a frog. Do you know what? I'll have a frog. I won't have a toad.
Starting point is 00:46:12 What's the difference? Toads are bigger and wartier and a bit more booty. Oh, yeah. But frogs can be cute and delicate. No, but Sarah, for you, is it the anticipation? Because my thing is I can look at it, but then it just jumps. Yeah. You know... Did you know they screamed?
Starting point is 00:46:28 Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've seen that. This has been a fact of the day once upon a time, but I'll chuck it in here for you, Sarah. The reason Ribbit Ribbit is the frog is because Hollywood needed a frog sound, so they just found a local frog, and apparently it's one of the only frogs in the world that was based in California that made that Ribbit Ribbit sound.
Starting point is 00:46:43 But how do they normally sound? Oh, no. No, thanks. That's all you've... And they let you know about it? Yeah, it's yuck. I'm glad we don't have too many around here. They just spring at you.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Who hates the frogs? No, but you don't see them all the time. You don't see them. Not in the Auckland CBD. Yeah. You know, not down at the waterfront. Exactly. Thank you, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Caitlin, what animal gives you the ick? The Tasmanian devil. Yeah. They're not down at the waterfront exhaling. Thank you, Sarah. Caitlin, what animal gives you the ick? The Tasmanian devil. Yeah. Caitlin, that's a top five for me. I am wildly offended on behalf of my Tassie devils. Because the cartoon led us wrong. They're ugly little things. Like wombatty rats.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Yeah. No. Exactly. I should have done that. The Australian version of the honey badger. Look at it screaming. No, you're right, Caitlin. It's yuck, eh?
Starting point is 00:47:26 Oh, Caitlin. What is it about it that you don't like? My dad used to work in Tasmania and he used to bring back the cutest little Tasmanian devil toys. And then I went to Wellington Zoo and I was all excited to see the Tasmanian devil in real life. Oh, my gosh. What the heck is that?
Starting point is 00:47:41 What is that? That is not a cute little soft animal. Yeah. Yeah, you're so right there. It's a rogue little sock animal. Yeah. Yeah, you're so right. It's a rogue little Aussie battler. Nah, he's disgusting. Did you get the noise? Because the noise, the first time you hear the noise is,
Starting point is 00:47:53 because that's why they're called devils, is because people would hear them. Because they scream and they thought they were banshees. I'm very quiet at Wellington's though, but yeah, absolutely terrifying to see in person. It was a real letdown. Okay, thank you, Caitlin. What animal gives you the ache? Caitlin, I saw you. You were a bit of real letdown. Okay, thank you, Caitlin. What animal gives you the ache?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Caitlin, I saw you. You were a bit of a letdown. No, I didn't mean it. That was mine. How dare you? I take it back. She just offended a very good friend of mine. I know you're upset.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I love someone just messaged the baboon. I'm on Team Caitlin's side. I'm on your side, Caitlin. Thank you, Caitlin. No, you're upset. She's crying. Yeah, well, there you go. Someone said the baboon,
Starting point is 00:48:23 worst kind of nappy rash. What's wrong with you? Yeah, yucky bums. Yeah. Yucky bums and they look at you in the eyes and you're like, no, thank you. Human babies. Yuck. Fletch, did you text the show?
Starting point is 00:48:38 That's good. That's good. Now someone's come for the capybara. Someone's coming for the lovely little cute capybara. The capybara is like the Tasmanian devil if it went to therapy and learned to manage its stuff and just kind of got a bit cuter, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Yeah, but I like them both. Ooh, the anteater. Somebody messaged us. Oh, yeah, the anteater in real life once, and it made me gag. Made me gag. Llamas and alpacas, the neck, the teeth, the eyes, the spinning, the rudeness, the noise they make.
Starting point is 00:49:04 It's all very unsettling. They give me the spinning, the rudeness, the noise they make. It's all very unsettling. The rudeness. You're not alone. Someone else texted in, mother effing llamas. That's all they said. I love them. They're cute. Silly things. Big necks. Eels. The way they look in the water and they stare at you with that white dead inside eye thing and their teeth
Starting point is 00:49:20 and plus always scared they're going to launch themselves out of the water. They're a real danger noodle. Danger noodle. Danger noodle. The descriptive words people are using. A slippery danger noodle. I'm suspicious of sawfish.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Suspicious of sawfish. Why do they need a long nose like a saw? There's no wood down there in the ocean. What are you using that for? Why are they calling it a saw? Isn't it a swordfish? Yeah, it is a swordfish. Is there a swordfish?
Starting point is 00:49:50 Is there a fish with a saw nose? The big swordfish. I mean, I think you might be thinking of a swordfish. No, it's a sawfish. Is it with a saw nose? When would they ever see those? Disgusting. Or carpenter shark because he comes with a saw on his nose. He's a carpenter.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Well, they are icky though. They're a bit yuck. Yeah. I've had a full-grown live tarantula on my face intentionally. I love spiders, but centipedes, it's just a no, no, no. Dogs. Dogs give me the massive ick. They smell and they spit all over the place. And I only think everyone loves dogs.
Starting point is 00:50:20 And so, oh, yeah, you should definitely put up with this thing jumping and sniffing your crotch and dribbling on your crotch. Oxolotls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Agreed. Someone says armadillo. Why? Just why?
Starting point is 00:50:35 They're awful. I love an armadillo. They roll into a ball. That rules. That's a mistake as well. That's in the mistake category of animals. Emus are ostriches. Now, I'm not a tall person, so the thought of a giant bird
Starting point is 00:50:45 pecking my eyeballs out from above gives me a huge gives me a huge ick. Has anyone said giraffes? No, not yet. Who could hate giraffes? I know, I know, I don't hate giraffes, but I could just imagine just a long neck. Someone says guinea pigs give me the shits. Oh yeah, guinea pigs,
Starting point is 00:51:02 no, yeah. They're a bit off, eh? Yeah. Someone said hairless cats. Yes. I mean, I love cats so much, but hairless cats? And then that's the big test. Do you love the cat or do you love the hair? I love the hair. It's the hair you love.
Starting point is 00:51:16 It's the fluff. It's the fluff that I love. It's the hair. The fluff. F crabs. F crabs at the beach. Hideous a-holes. And then they just go down a hole. Yeah, they just nip you and they're like, bye. Bye crabs at the beach. Hideous a-holes. And then they just go down a hole.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah, they just nip you and they're like, bye. Bye. Koalas. Oh, don't you dare. That's my favourite animal. Someone can't get koalas. My favourite animal won't hear a word. Yes, they've got chlamydia.
Starting point is 00:51:33 It's a different kind of chlamydia that we don't get. It is. We can't get it. Their chlamydia is different to our chlamydia. Yeah. We've got our own separate version of chlamydia. There it is. Turkeys.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah, turkeys are off. Zebras. Someone said zebras. Why? They make a weird sound and they've got weird, what do they do those patterns for? What do you need that for? What do you got that for? You crazy, Frank.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Seems ridiculous. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. I'm actually a little bit guilty of all of this. There's two things that you may be doing in your texts, in your messages that are making you seem a little bit much. all of this? There's two things that you may be doing in your texts, in your messages that are making you seem a little bit much.
Starting point is 00:52:08 And now as a woman who is quite a bit much. Quite a bit much. We're not even saying little anymore. Quite a bit much. How is she? Quite a bit much actually. I'm guilty of this. It is the use of the period, the
Starting point is 00:52:23 full stop, and the use of the exclamation mark. I'm bad at this too. So for example, and they're using this in the context of texting someone who maybe you don't know that well. So if I'm messaging you, I'm not really thinking about. Your exclamation marks. I'll pick you up soon.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yay, can't wait for tonight. Exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. But amongst friends, I thought it was an exclamation mark. Amongst friends, fine. But if you say you're going out, you're meeting someone new, or like we've just had a date, Fletch. It was great. I'm in my Uber heading home because I've decided not to show you on the first night.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Okay. Which is wild. Fresh for me. Yeah. Which is a new thing I was trying at the time. And I send you best full full stop, date, full stop, ever, exclamation mark. Too intense.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Yeah, that's too intense. Way too intense. Even just saying best date ever, without the additional thing, that's a lot. Yeah. So they say when a period is present in a text. Can we say full stop? Oh, gross.
Starting point is 00:53:24 No, no. Yucky, yeah. No. The menstrual cycle. How do you full stop? Oh, gross. No, no. Yucky, yeah. No. The menstrual cycle. How do you think you came to be on this planet, Cal? It's just American. It's an American. Period.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Period. Full stop. We say full stop. We say period when we mean like, I'm not going, period. Yeah. Okay, full stop. When you put a full stop,
Starting point is 00:53:42 the sentence is broken. It's jarring. It's hard. It kind of comes across as aggressive. It's a bit much. And it makes you, you're a little bit much, basically. And so you're less likely to get a text back. And it was a little bit more casual, a little bit more fluid.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Yeah. So if you're like me and you're hitting everyone with a full stop or a period or an exclamation mark all the time, it's a bit much. Pull back. Chill. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Hayley's pick today for Friday Flashback is a song that has to be at least 10 years old. Yeah, I will say this came out in 2004, so I've hit the 10 years old mark and ran away
Starting point is 00:54:23 from it. I wasn't into it at the time. I was 14 and I was being a bit punky and gothy and weird. Yeah. Okay? So this was pop music, but I remember this song and the video. I loved it. It did amazing around the world.

What does he look like now? Not that it matters. Gorgeous, he's stunning still. Why is does he look like now? Not that it matters. Getting married next week. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:55:26 He's stunning still. Why is he brunette now? I'm not into it. The bomb is always fake. I'm not into it. I hate to crush your world around you. So this was number two in New Zealand, number one in Australia, number one around the world.

Starting point is 01:05:53 I read that and for a second I was like, wow, imagine having that thought that no one else has had. It's a Buzzfeed list. It's a Buzzfeed list. If you've thought of it, Buzzfeed would probably
Starting point is 01:05:59 get a list about it. There were a few hotties on there. The bald dude with the red hair, chubby fat face. Yeah, I loved him. Yeah. Marie, she was a spicy gal. Yeah, Marie.

Starting point is 01:07:29 Oh, I didn't like that. It ended with a little kiss. I didn't mean to. My mouth just got too stuck together. So I was going to give you the 34 times the Fox comedy show The Simpsons predicted the future. But Fletch has just tapped his watch and we haven't even started. 34? Oh my God. I want to know these because it pops up all the time online. Just pick some good ones. Okay, my God. I want to know these because it pops up all the time online. Just pick some good ones.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Okay, Trump presidency. They predicted their Trump presidency in season 11, episode 17, Bart to the Future. You remember Lisa was the president? Yes. And she talked about we inherited. She looked hot, by the way, when she was a president. Is that a little something?
Starting point is 01:07:57 We're carrying on from what we were just talking about. A little awakening for me too. A little awakening. Don't shut yourself off to women. We inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump. Wow. That's what she said. They predicted Camilla Harris's purple pantsuit
Starting point is 01:08:09 in season also as well. Same thing, same episode. Correctly predicting Super Bowls, season three, episode 14. They predicted some Super Bowl wins. They predicted Disney buying out 20th Century Fox back in season 10, which you'll be like, I mean,
Starting point is 01:08:27 the writing was on the cards for the last few years, but this was in like- 90s. Yeah, late 90s. Wow. They predicted that. In season 17, episode 10, Homer's paternity coot, there was a underwater submersible emergency situation
Starting point is 01:08:41 that happened in real life. They did the submarine. Yeah. Season six, Lisa's wedding, which was, again, one of in real life. They did the submarine. Yeah. Season six, Lisa's wedding, which was again one of the ones where they looked to the future. They predicted smart watches, which at the time weren't kind of on the radar.
Starting point is 01:08:54 The watch we had at the time would have been a calculator watch and that would have been pretty cool. Casio. Season six, they also, the same one they predicted auto-correcting and messaging. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:05 They had a thing of it changed to what you didn't want it to be and it completely changed the message and you couldn't undo it. So the FIFA corruption scandal and the World Cup results, they've predicted that. Matt Groening. Groening. Groening. Has he come out to sort of say yes, you know, like we
Starting point is 01:09:26 are mythical soothsayers? Yes. Soothsayers, thank you. Teenage witch. Has he said anything about it before? No. It's just coincidental. I think the writers and everything have said when you've got to come up with
Starting point is 01:09:42 constant references that don't age out because it takes a year to make an episode of The Simpsons. Something will stick. Something will stick. They predicted the Siegfried
Starting point is 01:09:50 and Roy Tiger attack back in season five, episode 10, Springfield, when Mr. Burns builds a casino in Springfield and then they hire
Starting point is 01:09:58 Siegfried and Roy and then one of them is attacked by the tiger, which actually happened. Yeah. No, carry on. I was going to say video chats. That's in that one where Lisa's getting married as well.
Starting point is 01:10:07 They have like a video call years before video call. Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance. They kind of predicted before she did it that she'd do one and then what she'd do in it. As a bonus fact, how many episodes of The Simpsons are there in total
Starting point is 01:10:23 after all these years? How many years? That's what, yeah, 789. 781 episodes of The Simpsons as of January. Wow. No, end of December 2024. I read a thing earlier. If you sat down and watched them all,
Starting point is 01:10:39 no breaks, back to back, no ads. It would go to the moon and back. 10 days. Oh, that's quite the moon. 10 days. How long does it take to get to the moon and back. 10 days. Oh. That's not quite the moon. 10 days. How long does it take to get to the moon? I always think it's like two hours. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:10:50 Like us to, like Auckland to Queenstown. Yeah. On a plane. Well, you're going fast on a rocket. Yeah. No, it's a few days, isn't it? Okay. A few days to get to the moon?
Starting point is 01:10:58 Check ways. Open ways. What's the traffic like? How long to get to the moon? I think it's three days. My guess is two Three days As with most things in life
Starting point is 01:11:08 The answer is it depends During the Apollo program The answer to most things in life It depends Yeah, three days That was the fastest Apollo mission To the moon was three days Quick
Starting point is 01:11:24 Lovely Quick They also predicted COVID Do you remember the episode this Apollo mission to the moon was three days. Quick. Lovely. Quick. They also predicted COVID. Do you remember the episode where the thing came from a factory in China and someone had coughed in it and they opened it and there was a virus and it spread throughout the space?
Starting point is 01:11:34 Actually, our sushi shop's just taken down the QR code. Oh, we noticed that yesterday. As would you two make a big bloody song and a dance about the QR code every time you go in. Because we always try to open up our cameras to log in. Yeah, you are checking in. Yeah. To let the people know where you were if you had COVID-19.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Now it's turned into a sign about if you've got an allergy, let us know. And they'll cater to you, which is nice. Which is nice. I think they were just sick of people on the floor after the peanut sushi. Yeah, a peanut sushi was a rocker, though. Oh, my God. That nut sushi was my favourite sushi I've ever had. Nut, nut sushi. It had its own jingle, remember? Yeah, nut, nut sushi. a rocker, though. Oh, my God. That nut sushi was my favorite sushi I've ever had. Nut, nut sushi.
Starting point is 01:12:05 It had its own jingle, remember? Yeah, nut, nut sushi. I go nuts over sushi. Crunchy and ricey and delicious and sweet. Nut, nut sushi. Well, today's fact of the day and the final fact for the Simpsons week here at Fact of the Day is that the Simpsons have predicted the future at least 34 times. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Might I plug? You saw on Instagram yesterday, I put up a new, I'm making a new show. A new comedy show. It's called The Baroness. It's coming to the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. I can't give dates.
Starting point is 01:12:49 It's a soft launch. But great poster. Yeah, great poster. Great poster. Yeah, we love that. But as part of making a new show, I'm gigging a lot. In a couple of weeks,
Starting point is 01:12:59 I'm doing six gigs in one week. Now that's a problem. That's fine. We'll deal with that on that week. Yep. But I was gigging last night at the Classic in Auckland, Classic Comedy Club. So you do this because then you can try out stuff. Try out stuff.
Starting point is 01:13:12 In a small environment. I thought when I went into a comedian do an hour, it was all sort of ad lib, ad hoc. They talk about a lot of things and make it feel like it's the first time they've ever told the joke. That's the ruse. That's the lie. That's why these big comedians don't like people filming their shows. Because they're touring the
Starting point is 01:13:29 whole world but it's the same show. Some comedians will do jokes for like 10 years, the same little jokes. Just keep pulling it out. But last night I was doing some new stuff and upstairs at this comedy club, the venue's downstairs and upstairs is the green room where the comedians hang out.
Starting point is 01:13:45 And I was looking down and outside you can see this theatre and there was lots of people gathered outside the theatre. They were heading to a show down there and I saw a friend. So I started taking photos because I could see his phone on the table
Starting point is 01:13:57 and he was chatting to someone and I started sending messages being like, look up, look up, look up. And I could see his phone going bing and he ignored me. He was ignoring me. Did he look and then look back? Yeah. Like he's like, oh, it's just Hayley. Chat, chat,, look up, look up. And I could see his phone going bing and he ignored me. He was ignoring me. Did he look and then look back? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Like he's like, oh, it's just Hayley. Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat. Look down. Chat, chat, chat. No, but he might be like me. He doesn't put the message on the preview. Yeah, it wasn't the whole, it just the little thing kept popping down.
Starting point is 01:14:17 So I kept saying, I kept messaging. So that's even worse because he would see it pop up saying new message from Hayley and he was like, ugh. Yeah. Not today. He wouldn't have seen look up. I know. Yeah. But then I, so then I was sending pictures of the top of his head. Like this, being like, lol, lol, lol. I just wanted to
Starting point is 01:14:31 look up and say, hi, here I am. I'm up in the green room. Meanwhile, so I start sending these funny pictures to my friend downstairs. Meanwhile, Josh Thompson, beloved comedian and great friend, friend of the show and friend genuinely, he's on the other side of the green room and he knows this person downstairs as well.
Starting point is 01:14:48 So he thought it would be a great idea to take a photo of me taking a photo of the friend and then he was going to start bombarding the friend. It was going to be a little fun game. A little triangle. What Tomo didn't anticipate, he's in a slow-mo way, he turns his camera towards me
Starting point is 01:15:04 to take a photo of me taking a photo of our friend. He goes to poise his thumb like this. At the time that I think it's funny, I'm going to flash the friend downstairs because he's looked up. He's seen me. He's looked up and he starts to wave. I think this is funny. I'm going to flash the boobs. Great laugh. Homosexual friend down there. We're in a safe
Starting point is 01:15:20 zone. I was going to say, if it was a male comedian in New Zealand, there's an 85% chance it's a homosexual. Josh Thompson, not a homosexual. So Josh's finger... Well, hey, let's just... Yet. Not put a label on him.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Yet. Josh's finger hits the button as my top goes up. And if you know Josh Thompson, this is his response. Ha! Oh no!
Starting point is 01:15:39 Oh no no! Oh no no no! I was like, what? He said, I just took a photo of you. I just took a photo of your boobs. The poor guy, he took a photo of my boobies on the side and he felt terrible.
Starting point is 01:15:49 He was like, I'm just going to delete this. And then he panics. He has a little Tom-o-ziety and then accidentally uploads it to social media. It was very like, he was just trying to just take a little photo. No, what he did, he did the right thing. He said, I'm going to send this to you, and then I'm going to delete it,
Starting point is 01:16:07 and then I'm going to delete it from my deleted. So he sent me the pic so that I could see it and have a good laugh at it. But then he was like, I want absolutely nothing to do with it. So there you go, Tom. I got a little bit of a, it became a sort of unwilling green room pervert
Starting point is 01:16:20 for a moment in time through no fault of his own. If anyone's in the wrong it would probably be you in public flashing. Yeah. I might message him saying, hey,
Starting point is 01:16:31 why have you uploaded a photo of Hayley flashing to your Instagram account? No, that's, that will. Why is this photo of Hayley everywhere?
Starting point is 01:16:38 Everywhere on the internet. Yeah, attached to your profile. What are you doing? The Herald Journal's know I know you So they've asked Oh my god
Starting point is 01:16:46 Could you imagine the anxiety? Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley Okay Am I the only one That when emptying a dehumidifier Thinks I wonder what that water tastes like And want to have a little
Starting point is 01:17:01 Just a little Just as you're pouring it, wherever you pour it. I don't know if you water your house with it or pour it just down a sink or into the toilet or whatever or outside. But when you're pouring it, if you just think, just a little tongue under it. Does it taste dusty? No, I've never.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Does it taste like the room it's in? Does it taste like the washing that was next to it? Could have been. Or that skin, yeah. Yeah, because we only use ours and our wardrobe doesn't have any, like, well, wardrobes don't. Windows. Yeah, and it can get, it's on the south side of the house,
Starting point is 01:17:32 which makes it sound like I've got a big house, but it's just the side of the house that gets the coldest because it doesn't get direct sun as much. Yeah. So we run a dehumidifier in there, not as much over summer, but over winter. But the other day I was like, I chucked it on and then it ended emptying yesterday and I was pouring it out and i was like yeah i was gonna
Starting point is 01:17:48 lick it but then i was like no i wouldn't you wouldn't i have this thought with my condenser dryer with the where it holds the water yep and i pull it i slide it out of the thing to to dump it in the sink next to it and i think in, in an emergency, I know in my head, oh, we're all right because we've got the water in the dryer. But that water... Do you know what I mean? I mean, clothes rinse off the detergent and stuff, but in my mind, that might be a little detergenty.
Starting point is 01:18:16 But it's the steam from the dryer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the steam from the wet clothes. And it condenses it and collects it. Yeah. And part of me, I do think, oh, I could drink that. I just pour it in the sink. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 01:18:24 But I'm always like, maybe I should be using it to water plant or like, well, you should walk outside and sprinkle it on your garden. Yeah, it is wasteful. I don't have a garden. It's just dirt and weeds. Maybe you've got trees and shrubs and stuff. Yeah, you could. I could shrub them.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Or the lawn. I could use it. Yeah, and the lawn's getting dry. Yeah. I don't want to drink it. Never wanted to drink it. No, do you know what's funny about you saying that is that Cam Antle used to do the night show.
Starting point is 01:18:46 He tricked me for like a solid month that he was drinking his. I believed him. Yuck. And I was like, wait, he's like, it's actually really good for you. Like, read about it. And I was like, wait.
Starting point is 01:18:58 It's really good for you. I've done my own research. What? Oh, wow. But he just, he can keep a deadpan face. I believed it for a solid month. Yeah. I think people in general would say it would be bad for you.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Yeah. But I would go in a civil emergency and our water supplies are off and we can't access water. You'd boil it. I'm thirsty. I'd boil it and I'd use it, sure. So someone asked, can I use my dehumidifier water for plants? The water collected by a dehumidifier can be used for non-potable purposes
Starting point is 01:19:25 such as watering plants, cleaning flushing toilets, but not drinking apparently. Cleaning the toilet? The toilet's already got its own water? Yeah, but maybe if you're, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Are you drinking the toilet water in the event of an emergency? From the top you can. No, the cisterns are yuck. I wouldn't. Check in the, clean your cistern regularly if you want to do that.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Do you clean your cistern? No, I would if I wanted to drink out of it, though. Oh. Because, yeah. I'm just saying in desperate moments, I'm drinking my dryer condenser fluid. Okay. Is that your civil defence emergency plan?
Starting point is 01:19:56 We don't have any kind of emergency pack or anything, but I know that's there. Yeah, we don't either, actually, now that I think about it. Okay, so it's not... We did once but Aaron ate all the muesli bars. Yeah, but when you're in need of a little goods like that, you can't go past the muesli bar. I just imagine some volcano erupts or something happens
Starting point is 01:20:15 or some flood and then you go in to get your emergency supplies. I'm starving. Yeah. All the supermarkets are shut. Aaron, I thought we had muesli bars in here and he's like, I ate a dim. I wanted a little snack years ago. So
Starting point is 01:20:31 upon further research, I don't think I will. Okay. Because dehumidifier water contains bacteria and fungus and they've tested it and it's quite like if you did it put a thing in it and did a petri dish of it you'd get some big growth. Some funky things. Because of the coils that cool the water that causes it to
Starting point is 01:20:47 turn from humidity in the air into water and then drop down, unless you're cleaning those regularly. And no one's cleaning those. Aren't we sucking up the water that's stopping our clothes going mouldy? So, I don't know if it's going to be that great. So, my advice would be
Starting point is 01:21:03 boil it for three minutes. I'm glad that we've answered the big question. Should you drink the water out of your dryer and your dehumidifier? We don't know. There could be a tsunami this weekend. And we've actually saved a lot of people. Well, that's not a problem because there'll be water everywhere. Yeah, well, there's too much water.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Too much water. You can't be drinking that. You'd have to put your dehumidifier outside. To suck up all the water. To suck up all the seawater. But you're still not drinking that. I would because it takes the salt out of it. True.
Starting point is 01:21:27 Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. It's a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you're wheeze. There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. It just says here I'm busting for a wheeze. I read it, okay? I read it. Give us a review.
